This error measure is called '''least-squares delta error'''{{idiosyncratic}} (LSD error). LSD error does not depend on whether the chord whose error is being measured is 1:''r''<sub>1</sub>:''r''<sub>2</sub>:...:''r''<sub>''n''</sub> or the same chord linearly shifted to have root α.

Unfortunately, LSD error does not form a metric on the set of delta signatures with a fixed number of terms. There is ongoing research seeking a natural and psychoacoustically useful metric space structure on delta signatures.
